I myself have a weird issue I've never been able to figure out.
Ever since I can remember, electrical devices seem to go haywire around me. Street lights go out when I walk near, then come back on once I've passed. I've had new tvs and computers literally fry themselves for no reason while I sat in front of them dumbfounded. No tech support or repair man has ever been able to figure out why.
Anything that takes batteries does not last long around me. Its the most frustrating problem as its cost me literally thousands of dollars over the years.
Interestingly, my daughter has the same trait. She has reported similar things and even almost lost her job once because she went through three computers in a few months and the company thought she was doing something to vandalize the machines.....

One day? What about the 1000's and thousands of years that everyone who came before us had to develop these "abilities". How come there aren't armies of X Men(?) already guarding us all like the superhero's that you say are "coming". Wouldn't they be here by now?
Oh, right. Only now during your life time is this happening. Because of some burned appliances? And to anybody else that experiences these phenomenon. You have heard of "ghosts" draining batteries and using electricity to "manifest"? If that is the case then those spirits are attached to you and using you for their purposes, which maybe good or bad. Claiming you "have the power" is a deception. I would be more concerned about that.
ah you're just saying that because in a way im attacking your materalist religion.
im sorry for offending you
attack attack and attack
no real experience, you don't know anything. so you can reply with some more bull# that lacks any substance. that doesnt change the true nature of reality. now go back in your shoebox where you're safe

Material religion??? K...

How can you offend me, I don't even know you. You seem upset though.
attack attack and attack
I just called hoax on the little electric girl. Everyone on here is entitled to their opinion. You don't remember, I was sorry for her. She is being blamed for faulty wiring by everybody. Her family, the media, even you. She doesn't agree with you by the way.

Ahhh, Ive been cast out of your private hell. Is that how you disagree? I see.
Intrptr steps out, closes door, and brushes dust off feet.

If she could turn lead into gold or create matter from thin air then I might be impressed, but any monkey with two sticks can make fire if he thinks hard enough...

Wow, guys... The human body is an incredible machine that has the ability to do much more than counting paychecks and watching tv.
As has already been mentioned, things like this are very easily proven beyond a doubt. Trust me, if this girl was the real deal, there would be absolutely no debate, it would be as clear and obvious as trying to prove that dogs and cats are real.
The human mind is capable of breathtaking acts of naivety.
no it wouldn't be. nina kulagina proved it time after time in controlled enviroments and people still doubt it. so no you statement "if this girl was the real deal..." isn't true, at all.

Expert suspects Vietnam fire girl burns things to get attention
Last Updated: Wednesday, May 23, 2012 05:10:00
A burnt fan, which the family of a girl in Ho Chi Minh City suspects she caused through a bizarre ability to set off fires.
A Ho Chi Minh City research institute has said it cannot make good on its promise to study a girl reportedly with a paranormal ability to set things on fire by being near them, but expressed skepticism about her alleged powers.
Du Quang Chau, director of the Energy Dowsing Center at the Hong Bang private university, told Phap Luat Thanh Pho Ho Chi Minh (HCMC Laws) newspaper that the center can no longer study her case.
Chau, who studied her briefly, said, however: "I think she burns things to catch people's attention."
The 11-year-old, identified only as Thuy, has attained fame after her father went to various media agencies 10 days ago seeking help saying stuff around his daughter kept going up in flames.
Chau's center, whose help was also sought, said earlier that the girl has a rare and "precious" ability that needs to be studied carefully.
But he began to have doubts after meeting the girl, whom he described as smart and active.
"All the burnt items, such as electric boxes, electric fans, heaters, and mattresses, were within her reach.
"As for the lid of the toilet bowl, if the girl could burn it just by sitting on it, the lid should have burned from above, but it happened from below.
"And she was always the one discovering the fires."
She could have used a kind of Chinese lighter whose fire "is very hot and easily burns wood and plastic." The lighters were sold on the streets for VND10,000.
One such lighter was found near one of the fires at her house in Tan Binh District.
Vietnam ' fire girl' to be studied by experts
He never saw anything catch fire when he was at her house. The one fire that occurred started when he was not around.
If her family strongly believed she had the ability to cause fires, "they need to seek help from experts in medicine, physics, electricity, chemistry, and such."
News website VnExpress reported that Chau's conclusion has elicited criticism from several scientists who said he cannot arrive at such a conclusion without firm scientific evidence since it would confuse the public and prevent the girl from getting the help she might need.

Has any loon yet suggested SHE may or is the LORD as isaiah 66:15 says "For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire."
This and other mysterious / strange happenings bring out the religious and their quotes of doom and gloom.....
To those loons, I'm only helping you out. 😜
Thank you very much in advance.
